The other four are Ālātaua, Fofō, Leāsina (Aitūlagi) and Tuālā-uta (Ma’upū).
The villages of Fūtiga, Itū'au (Malaeloa), Taputimu and Vailoatai form the itūmālō (county/district) o Tuālātai. Part of the Puapua area starting from the junction of Taputimu Road and Route 001 to Futiga are lands that belong to Tuālā-tai families and are part of the county.
Vailoatai serves as the county’s principality as the titular head of the district (fa'asuaga) is located here.
The county is represented by one senator in the American Samoa Senate and by one representative in the American Samoa House of Representatives.
It is the fourth most populous county of American Samoa as of 2020.
